Busy week ahead - assuming all goes well we may be able to start working in our lab over the coming week, in a limited way. Very grateful to all those in @Cambridge_Eng whose hard work has made this possible.

The Bulk Superconductivity lab is now shut down. We've just shipped all our stock of PPE (masks, gloves etc.) off to addenbrokes along with lots of other bits of the department. Plenty of paper writing ahead !

The group has an EPSRC funded studentship available to work on trying to making bulk superconducting magnets practical for desktop NMR - https://t.co/ffJNjVRVSg

Dripping upwards........
This video shows a drop of liquid oxygen, which has condensed on the surface of bulk superconductor, being attracted upwards to a levitated magnet. It appears to drip upwards. Video (c) Jan Srpčič 2019, used with permission.

Group members @AinslieMark & Danny Huang, with Japanese colleagues, report on accurate strain & stress measurement & modelling techniques when magnetising bulk superconducting rings. Published in Superconductor Science & Technology yesterday: https://t.co/vIJJdhnpJA

[Cambridge Bulk SC @CambridgeBulkSC]

@AinslieMark, in collaboration with Japanese colleagues, have reported the first experimental verification of the hybrid trapped field magnet lens proposed conceptually last year. Read their Letter published in Superconductor Science and Technology today: https://t.co/d1sWmw1Fin

The group has returned from enjoying @eucas2019 in Glasgow. Group member, John Durrell opened the conference as meeting co-chair.

[Cambridge Bulk SC @CambridgeBulkSC]

Why does this happen? It turns out that while oxygen isn't magnetic in the normal sense of the word - among things that aren't considered magnetic it is fairly magnetic (or paramagnetic) so when concentrated as a liquid it is attracted to a strong magnet.
